statistics from the years 2001-02 in US, Canada, and the United Kingdom: United States, there were “103,272 animals exposed to pain without pain relief.....In the year 2001 in Canada 59% of the research was curiosity-driven, 26% for medical veterinary research, 3% for teaching and 12% on testing and there was 96,000 animals subjected to experiments which caused pain above their pain tolerance….in United Kingdom a total of 2.73 of experiments were conducted, 32% were curiosity-driven, 31% medical/veterinary research, 1% teaching, and 18% on testing.” Peta.org
HERE ARE SOME OF THE ALTERNATIVES:the vitro methods that use human tissue and living cells. There exists also the testing of reactions on a microscopic layer of cells grown on a membrane. A lot of alternatives are out there, and apart from these listed, there exists also these: Lifelike dummies, simulators, int

They would answer, because the animals are not like us” Professor Charles R. Magel
Their philosophy is based on a contradiction.

and plus there are a lot of factors that may bring out different test results in the animals, like diet, stress,gender, isolation, age, and crowding.
